Blacklane to launch luxury door-to-sky travel services in Saudi Arabia

Global chauffeur service provider Blacklane has expanded its Saudi Arabian portfolio through a new partnership with The Helicopter Company (THC) to launch integrated luxury mobility experiences connecting air and ground travel.

The collaboration will combine Blacklane’s global chauffeur network with Saudi-based THC’s premium aviation services, creating seamless door-to-sky connections for high-end guests. The partnership aims to offer what both companies describe as a “prestigious experience for discerning travellers,” enhancing luxury and convenience across the kingdom’s fast-growing premium tourism sector.

Initially, the partnership will integrate Blacklane’s chauffeur service into THC’s helicopter itineraries as first and last-mile transport, ensuring a smooth transition between car and flight. Both companies are also exploring digital integrations through their respective mobile apps to enable future service enhancements and on-demand functionality.

The launch phase will target high-demand routes from Riyadh and key premium travel hubs, with full rollout planned following successful pilot operations.

Jens Wohltorf, founder and CEO of Blacklane, said the partnership will bring “skylines and expressways together for the first time,” adding that it will “set new benchmarks for convenience, personalisation and sophistication in the urban mobility landscape.”

Captain Arnaud Martinez, CEO of THC, added: “By integrating premium ground and air services, we are enhancing the traveller journey and contributing to the kingdom’s vision for a smarter, more connected transport ecosystem.”

Blacklane continues to grow its presence in the kingdom, recently partnering with Riyadh Air to offer chauffeur services to business class passengers and select loyalty members within 50km of King Khalid International Airport. Members of Altanfeethi, Saudi’s luxury travel concierge, can also now book Blacklane’s door-to-door luxury chauffeur rides for airport transfers both domestically and internationally across key cities including London, New York and Dubai.

Beyond Saudi, Blacklane has expanded its partnership with dnata Travel Group, enabling agents booking via the group’s 20-plus brands to now seamlessly include chauffeur-driven transfers in itineraries spanning more than 50 countries, including the Middle East and Asia.
